Trying to catch a cockroach

Attempting to catch a cockroach with your bare hands or with an improvised trap in a dream is a reflection of your compulsion to be in complete control of every situation at home or at work. You like to see things in perfect order and in accordance with your own set of rules. In your opinion, a slight alteration or change would upset the balance and ruin everything, and you are not going to let it happen. This dream vision further indicates that if you are over-anxious about the possibility of a glitch occurring to disrupt the normal course of your life or an otherwise smooth operation, you could actually prevent it from happening because your excessive worrying would make you fully aware and therefore keep you on your toes at all times.
